Skin function in flash

Why can't I add a back option to my skin for my e-learning course. I went into skin editor and the back option is not avaible to put on the skin. Does any one know how I can fix that?

BRanch would also be the reason why my answers are not showing up on the result page
its not recongizing the answers and it was before?

How to add new skins for Adobe Flash Player in DW CS4?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to insert a FLV file into my webpage using Insert | Media | FLV... from the top menu bar in dreamweaver cs4.
When the "Insert FLV" window opens up, I see a drop down list of different skins (clear skin, corona skin and halo skin) for the flash player, but none of these skins has the Full Screen button on it. How can i add a new skin to this drop down list that contains the full screen toggle?
Also, I'm using the Design view to build my website as I'm not very familiar with any kind of code.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

You can't. You need a height and width for your player to appear correctly on the html page.
Also, I'm using the Design view to build my website as I'm not very familiar with any kind of code.
That's a real shame. You're severely limited working only in Design View. Kind of like working with a pencil between your teeth and both hands tied behind your back. Web design is all about code. While you're learning, you should at least keep split screen open so you can see the code DW writes.

Using Javascript Functions with Flash 8

I wanted to know how to integrate Javascript functions with
Flash 8 created swf files. I assume this would be done using
ActionScript, I know some ActionScript but am not as familiar with
it as to be able to integrate other programming languages with it.
I'd like to be able to call other programming language functions
with my swf files.
The particular case I'm working on now is to be able to open
Pop-Up windows for display of web items from within links written
in ActionScript in a swf file. In other words, have the user click
a link in a Flash movie and open a window using a Javascript
window.open function that would be called. I would like the window
to contain more flash movies that contained further links to
functions. If any one could offer up some advice or point me to a
few tutorials and how tos on how to get the Flash part of this done
I'd appreciate it.
In a broader scope, a seemless workflow linking Flash output
files to outside scripting and programming functions would be nice
to know if anyone has links or input on where I can read up on
this.
Thanks

myButton.onRelease = function () {
getURL("javascript:myFunc('myVars')");

Replace Function in Flash

In Flash (CS3), I would like to replace the comma in my
Database data with a
return (my data is being returned comma delimited and it is
causing issues
with functions in Flash). I can't seem to figure it out in
Flash though.
From the help, I have tried to use the RedExp function but I
keep getting an
error saying: "The class or interface 'RegExp' could not be
loaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you be more specific? Are you copy/replacing code? Text in TextFields? Other?

Skinning Kit for Flash CS4 ??

Maybe I`m missing something but after spending hours searching for info on Flash CS4 skinning for Flex 3 I have come up with nothing. It seems that this feature ended with CS3.
Anybody here know about tuts / info / resources / downloads for Flash CS4 skinning for Flex 3 ??

You can use the same mxp that CS3 uses.

Viewing the skin around a Flash file online

I am having trouble viewing the skin around my Flash video
after I publish it from Captivate. I am able to preview it in
Captivate and use the skin navigation, but when I add the Flash
file to my website the skin is no longer associated with the Flash
video. I uploaded the skin.swf file to the server along with the
other Flash files associated with the video, but the skin still
does not appear around the Flash video. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Cathleen007 and welcome to our community
Did you ensure you copied the
standard.js file to the server too?

Calling flex functions from flash swf (AS3)

Hi all, i'm stuck with communication between loaded AS3 SWF
from Flash and Flex3 project. I use SWFLoader for runtime loading
SWF, call functions inside SWF, but cannot find the way to call
functions declared in Flex project. I try to use ExternalInterface
class, but it does not help me, or maybe i use it incorrect. Is
there a method to call Flex user declared functions from Flash SWF?
All i need is a syntax sample, thank you in advance!

Also, application.application will point to the top-level app
scope, even from a loaded swf.
I believe parentApplication will resolve to what you usually
want as well.
For looser coupling, consider using a bubbling event.

How to modify functionality of skin buttons in Flash

I am using Captivate 4. I am creating some practice activities that need a Show Hint button and a Do It For Me button. I've modified 2 of the original buttons in the Coolblue skin provided by Captivate 4, and now need to modify their functionality. Here is what my modified skin looks like when I run it in my Captivate project:
The Do it for Me button is just another Next button, so I can handle that using the same code used in the Forward button. My problem is the Show Hint button, which should show/hide specific hidden Text Captions (that I have placed in the Captivate slides and tagged with variable names) on mouseOver/mouseOut events or onClick.
How can I accomplish this using the button in the skin?. I am a graphic designer and don't have a lot of programming skills. Can one of the brilliant Flash/Captivate folks that visit this site point me in the right direction? Any info/help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I've come up with a bit of a crazy solution but believe it will accomplish what you wish and resolve all your problems!
The image you inserted into your first post, the one of the customized playbar you're trying to configure with Flash, create it as a jpg exactly as you wish it to appear. Insert it at the bottom of every slide in your presentation, add click boxes around the buttons, then configure their properties to accomplish exactly what you wish. You can even set it all up on the first slide then simply copy and paste the image and all click boxes at once to the remainder of the slides.
For the rewind button set the click box to "go to first slide". Set play to "continue". Back and forward set as "jump to previous" and "jump to next" and so on...
Everything you're trying to do is very easy within the Captivate project utilizing click boxes. By setting it up this way it will appear as though the user is using the Flash playbar and they'll never know the difference. Once set up, go to the project menu, skin editor, and remove the actual playback controls.
Even your last post, asking about jumping ahead 2 slides instead of one, can easily be accomplished by setting that button/click box to "jump to slide" then entering the correct slide number.
I know this isn't what you've asked for, but sometimes thinking outside the box is the only way to accomplish what we desire as software doesn't always work the way we'd hope!
Hope this helps.

Adding extra functions to flash video skin

Is it possible to add an email button or link to a custom
flash video skin, and script it so it only appears at the
conclusion of the video?

Answer: You can add your movieClip or button to FLVPlayBack
component, like i did.
uFlvPlayer.addChild(PlayTime_txt);
It works in FullScreen mode now.

Skins dissappear when Flash movie placed

I am using the example procedures as shown in the Adobe Book,
Flash CS3 Professional Video Studio Techniques. (Chap 5
specifically). I want to place a Flash movie inside of an HTML
page. I created my Flash Video (Action Script 2.0) both ways (FLV
Player with an authortime assigned FLV & FLV player with an
HTML-assigned FLV) as recommended in the book both to learn and see
how they function. When I load them stand alone in my browser,
(Firefox) they work fine. When I place the code inside my full HTML
page I can get the video to place and play with either but the
Skins fail to show up. I see a blank bar with the background and no
control skin. I did have to do a little work to get the paths
correct for the video but once that was working I expected the
skins to be there but they are gone.
**Update** I actually got it to work when using FLV player
with an HTML-assigned FLV (bad path) but FLV Player with an
authortime assigned FLV still does not work nor make sense since
the Skin should be embedded inside swf file correct?
Answered my own question. In using FLV Player with an
authortime assigned FLV the skin.swf needs to be at the same
directory level as the calling HTML.

Creating a Flex Theme from a Skin made in Flash

Hi all, here's what I'm trying to do in Flash Builder 4 Beta 2:
I have the Flex Scope Skin used for creating UI for CS4 products from here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/
I have the Skin Design Extensions and Flex Component Kit from here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex_skins
The instructions on the skin page say to add the skin files to each Flex project which bloats the number of files in each project. What I'd like to do is compile the Scope Skin down to a SWC that can be referenced by projects OR create a Flex Theme.
I've tried compiling an SWC out of Flash CS4, this kind of works but I can't find a way of embedding the fonts in the SWC that are recognised by Flex. I've also tried crating a Theme SWC from Flex with no success.
Is there a tutorial out there showing how to create a Flex theme with embedded fonts and swf resources as well as CSS?   I have found some tutorials but the are all basic.
TNKS!

Buttons do not function after Flash Movie

I have a page with a number of buttons and a couple of flash
"list" components. One of these lists, gives the user an option to
select one of two modules and then navigates to a marker where a
flash movie plays. When the user exits the flash movie. This is
done via and exit button in the flash movie itself they returnt to
the page where they started. After navigating to that page
following the flash movie many but not all of the buttons are no
longer functional, e.g they do not receive mouseEnters etc.

Are the buttons in question Director buttons or Flash
buttons? In either case, is the code for these buttons in a
behavior that is attached to each button? Is there any part of this
code that disables the button?

Using variable in function for FLASH video

I have a webpage that uses PHP to pull a variable from a
MySQL database.
I would like to use that variable to tell my flash component
what flash video to play. I cant seem to figure out how to place
the variable in the function call to make it work.
Also...The main page is in the root directory of my site with
all my flash videos in a subfolder. I can't seem to get the videos
to play on my main page unless they are in the same directory. I
even tried to simply 'include' the movie into my existing page and
it doesn't work.
Any idea on either of these issues?
(Is this even the correct forum area for this? I am new to
using FLASH for this stuff)

Thanks for the advice!
Turns out I believe my answer lies in PHP, but I will check
out the LoadVars help in FLASH too!

Calling a function in Flash via JavaScript

My project is in Flash CS3 ActionScript 2. I am using
JavaScript elements in my project that are called within Flash. The
following code placed on frame 1 of my main timeline goes to frame
2 and displays the JavaScript element = that works. Here's the
code;
HS_Film_Button.onRelease = function ()
gotoAndStop(2);
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("firehs");
Now when on frame 2, I want the JavaScript "close button" in
the element to go to frame 1 on my Flash main timeline. Right now
what it does is closing itself in frame 2 of my Flash page, so I
added a flash button in there to go to frame 1. Thus the need to
double click to finally end up on frame 1. But I want the
JavaScript element to do that in the first place!
The real issue here is that the JavaScript element was once
on my main single frame timeline but its performance (display speed
and such) was greatly affected by my Flash Time and Date and Frame
rate calculations. This JavaScript element is based on miliseconds
and I suspect that my Flash file is based in seconds and that my
Flash calculations are grabbed by the Browser and directing my
JavaScript element.....Hey I am getting lost I hope you kind of see
what I mean. Anyways, if I could just get rid of frame 2 all
together and have some kind of coding that would eighther have
Flash calculate in miliseconds rather than seconds????? to match my
JavaScript one.... Or codify JavaScript so that when called it
would take over and tell the Browser to change its calculations
rates?
If you wish please have a look at the Forum topic postings
where all of this is evolving with questions examples and
answers....This link gets you right in the posting.

Hi, Since your reply I have been trying to follow your
direction and found a couple of things,
My flash site is based on the AC_FL_RunContent JS file
not the
<object classid= ..............>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="
sameDomain" /> which element in bold should probably be
repalced by "always" for the externalinterface addCallback() to
work properly. The question being what code I have to ad to the
AC_FL_RunContent JS file for allowScriptAccess.......
quote:
ExternalInterface is similar in functionality to the
CallFrame() method but is more flexible and more generally
applicable. ExternalInterface is the preferred method for
JavaScript–ActionScript communication in Flash Player 8 and
later.
So I see I could use externalinterface addCallFrame() for
achieving Javascript to ActionScript communication ; when
Javascript close button is pressed Flash goes to frame 1........
The latest hint I got from Highslide JS was to add the
following in the Head section;
<script type="text/javascript">
hs.Expander.prototype.onBeforeClose = function (sender) {
return confirm("Do you really want to close this nice
image?");
</script>
The line in bold should be the code to call to go to frame 1
in Flash and the onBeforeClose should probably be onAfterClose.
Anyways, I am completely lost in space = could you really hep
me out with this code by code and where to put those exact
codes.....please

Calling a function in flash on an HTML page

Hi,
I need help regarding how to call a flash function from an HTML page. The idea is to have a link on my page (HTML link) that once clicked displays a movieclip in flash. I know i have to use the asfunction in HTML. So far I have just created my swf file with a function called showInfo. I've embedded the flash into an HTML page. I have then added a link on the HTML page as follows:
<a href="asfunction:showInfo">Link name</a>
but when I click it says:
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (asfunction) isn't associated with any program."
is there a piece of code I need to write in flash for this to work?
Thanks
Eugene

have your html link call a javascript function and use the externalinterface class in flash to communicate between javascript and actionscript.
